“ICG continues to lead the business aviation industry in providing versatility and added capabilities in satellite communications,” said Jeff Saucedo, Vice President of Product Sales for ICG. “With this version of the 200 now added to our long list of PMA products, our customers can easily upgrade their Satcom systems,” Saucedo states. “This upgrade includes a direct interface for fax and ACARS, and makes the transition from office to airplane virtually seamless for all operators.” ”The NxtLink 200’s added weather graphics feature can even enhance the safety and comfort of flight by providing the crew with an additional resource to use in avoiding threatening weather.” 

ICG has been providing NxtLink 200 (or ICS-200, as it was previously known) units to Gulfstream since 2005. The NxtLink 200 incorporates two channels of Iridium that can support voice, fax and ACARS all in one unit. Its dual Iridium transceivers with an internal CTU provide a standalone, comprehensive communications system that can operate over a single coax and Iridium antenna. It works with either standard 2-Wire “Tip and Ring” circuits or 4-Wire audio connections to provide intercom calling, call transfer, conferencing and follow on dialing. The NxtLink 200 is simple to operate, with standard dialing conventions, PABX operations and familiar call progress tones. It is the ideal solution for aircraft requiring no more than six telephone connections and seamless global communications services without the inconveniences of hand-offs or no service areas.
